How To Pick Up At The Grocery Store

Even the Player often finds himself stuck in a rut, frequenting the same bars, the same clubs, and staying safe and secure inside his conquered social circle. However, the art of the pickup knows no bounds, and the pickup artist is able to bend and flex in the face of adversity. Above all, ability dictates success. A true player operates in an ever-changing daily environment and he can score targets at will, regardless of location. You must forgive the cliché, but the grocery store is often teeming with available women, and that includes lonely single mothers, young and hardworking businesswomen and even sexy college students stocking up for mid-terms. Heck, everybody needs to supply themselves with food, so you’ll actually find all manner of women, but it does depend on the day and the time of day. Picking up at the grocery store is a challenge — it’s not a venue typically conducive to romantic encounters — but it’s hardly impossible.

The following is a list of tips to help you out in a brand new and uncommon situation. Many of these will require faster moves, a slightly better observational eye and an enhanced imagination. But if you’re willing to expand your repertoire and feel confident in an unlikely flirting situation, and if you don’t mind taking on new ideas, you may land a delectable hottie at the deli counter… as strange as that sounds.

Timing is essential

While this is generally a good idea at all times, the grocery store calls for a keen eye and exact timing. Perhaps you’ve spotted her in the first aisle, where all the produce is, and you’re considering an approach. If this is the case, you’ve got plenty of time, and you should use that time to sketch a rudimentary personality profile of your intended target. See what kind of products she picks up, step close enough to check for a ring and you may even want to risk drawing some attention to yourself in some way. Maybe you could drop something, or you could select an item from the shelf that she just put in her cart and shoot her a questioning glance. By preparing a foundation first, it’s much easier to start building a viable launching pad. You’re fully capable of reading people in a bar or club setting, and while she probably isn’t thinking about a potentially romantic meeting, the signals and signs remain the same.

Preparation is key here, primarily because you aren’t quite sure what you’re dealing with. Chicks in bars expect to be approached; you may discover this woman is nowhere near that same mentality, and it’s best to steer clear. Therefore, attempt to figure this out before you make your move.

Address common interests

They say a person is what he/she eats, and psychologists will say one can learn a lot about a person based simply on their diet. For whatever reason, it seems women are more aware of this than men, so cementing common ground is not only a good idea, but it might even be essential. She reaches for a cantaloupe, you reach for a cantaloupe. She reads labels, you read labels. She avoids the fatty snack section, you don’t even glance in that direction. You don’t have to make it painfully obvious that you’re copying her every move, but you can show how your lifestyle would meld beautifully with hers. She’ll notice this before you even make your approach, and that’s a foot in the door. However, don’t be too obvious and drag this tactic out for too long. If you step over the line, you’re not flirting with her, you’re flirting with the creepy stalker label. The best thing to do is keep your distance and hope she picks up on the signal; going any further will result in overplaying the hand. But if it works, and she does notice the similarities between you two, the rest should progress relatively smoothly.
